About this role
Ascension's dental hygienist role in Milwaukee places you in a school-based setting where you'll deliver preventive care—screenings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and X-rays—while educating students and families about oral health and its ties to overall wellness. You'll manage clinical equipment and patient records through dental software, and communicate findings and follow-up recommendations to parents and guardians, making you a key bridge between clinical care and family engagement.
To qualify, you'll need current Wisconsin dental hygiene credentials and BLS certification (obtained within 30 days of hire). The role requires either a high school diploma plus two years of relevant experience, an associate or technical degree, or four years of applicable job experience. A valid Wisconsin driver's license is preferred, as you may travel between locations across the Milwaukee area. The position runs 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. full-time, in-office.
Ascension is a large nonprofit Catholic health system known for supporting its associates and recognized among the best places to work in healthcare. This role offers the chance to focus on preventive care and community health education in a school environment rather than a traditional dental practice.
